We present a deterministic wave interference model to describe the mass distributions of fission fragments in heavy nuclei. Unlike conventional stochastic approaches, this model assumes that fission products originate at the interference maxima of recursively superimposed spherical wavefronts. Each wave is harmonically modulated with decreasing amplitudes, forming a fractal interference field. Localized maxima within this field correspond to preferred nucleation sites for fission products. The resulting one-dimensional projections reproduce characteristic yield curves observed for actinides such as U-235, Pu-239, and Th-232. An extended version of the model introduces asymmetric phase modulation and damping components to account for observed asymmetries and peak flattening. The resulting peak positions and shapes align well with empirical data from international nuclear databases. This interference-based framework provides a geometrically structured alternative to statistical models and suggests that fragment mass distributions may reflect intrinsic field symmetries rather than stochastic partitioning.
